Another sunny day!

Last night the launch of the rocket Falcon9 was postponed because of bad weather! They are going to try again on Saturday at 8:22pm – hopefully we will spot the rocket up in the sky on Saturday 🚀

Reading Thursday 

Today we are going to read a non-fiction book.  Remember in Tuesday’s online learning we learned about the difference between fiction and non-fiction (have a look back to Tuesday’s lesson if you need a wee reminder).

Fiction books are made up stories that are not real and non-fiction book have facts, they teach us something and have information that is true.  

Warm Up:

• Visit the DK Find Out Website and explore all the different non-fiction categories you can find out about .  There are videos, quizzes and fun facts too!

•  You could take a quiz about dinosaurs, find out about space or watch a video on the human body
